The ethereal beauty of planet Earth is perfectly captured in this image taken by NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold (Astro_Ricky). From the vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS), Arnold was able to see the orange and brown hues of the Namib Desert and the contrasting blues of the Atlantic Ocean. Currently, six humans are living and working 250 miles above our planet on the orbiting laboratory. During their time in space, they conduct important science and research that not only benefits life on our planet, but will help send humans deeper into the solar system than ever before.
